Chapter 117 Help me find out who he's cheating with
Amanda shook her head, “I don’t want you to leave, either. My job is much easier with you around. The
most important thing is that I’ve enjoyed working with you very much. But the General Manager gave
the order and we have no other choice but to follow it. It's unnecessary for you to worry about the
problems that may arise in your former job at the Walter Group, I believe.”
Our General Manager is nothing like John Walter. He’s a collected and clever man whose deeds
always accord with his words. He’s never disrespected any of his secretaries. As far as I can see, he’s
deeply loved some woman, but for some reason, it didn’t work out for them. It’s probably why he’s
always so serious and cold.
What’s more, he hates flirty women who’re dressed improperly. There was once a secretary who tried
to seduce him and take a shortcut. She was fired on the spot. He’s a man of principles, and there is no
need to worry.”
Joey was tempted to change her mind, “Really?”
If what Amanda had said was true, she’d like to give it a try, because she was in no position to argue
with her boss yet. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Of course!”
Amanda shrugged with a smile, “I have no reason to lie to you. If I didn’t like you so much, I wouldn’t
have told you about it!”
Having worked in the CL Group for seven years, Amanda had never gossiped about her boss with
anyone else. But she made an exception for Joey today.
“Thanks, Amanda!”
Joey looked at Amanda gratefully and bit her lips after a pause, “All right, I’ll accept it.”
“Great.”
Amanda smiled with satisfaction, “Go ahead and collect your things. You’re reporting to the General
Manager Office this afternoon.”
“Why in such a hurry?” Joey asked.
“What? You hate to leave me?”
Once the discussion was over, Amanda began to joke with her.
“Yes, a little.” Joey laughed.
“Joey!”
Amanda suddenly stood up with a serious look on her face. She went to Joey, put her hands on Joey’s
shoulders and said in a serious tone, “There is one thing I've been thinking about since the General
Manager’s order arrived. I've a favor to ask of you. But you’re free to say no if you don’t want to help
me.”
“Amanda, I’d like to help you if I can.”
Joey agreed without any hesitation. Amanda was a proud woman and she must really need Joey’s help
when she asked for a favor.
“I…”
Amanda hesitated somehow after Joey readily agreed to help her, because it was too embarrassing.
She frowned and thought for a while, “I want you to keep an eye on the General Secretary of our
General Manager. His name is Quentin.”
“Ah?”
Joey was surprised at Amanda’s strange request and she couldn't help wondering, “Why?”
“Because…I believe there’s something wrong with him recently. I think…he’s seeing someone in the
company.” Amanda found it hard to explain it.
Quentin had become less intimate with Amanda recently. Previously a man of enormous sexual desire
who would ask Amanda to make love to him almost every night, he had rarely approached her in the
past month. Whenever they had done it, it seemed he was in a rush and treated it like some sort of
task. He was apparently distracted by someone else.
As a woman emotionally insensitive as Amanda, her instinct told her that Quentin had probably
betrayed her.
However, Joey was even more confused, “Amanda, even if Mr. Quentin has been dating someone in
the company, is the administrative department supposed to take care of it?”
She was implying that Amanda had gone too far. It was more of a problem of personal conducts than
one that the company should pay attention to.
Amanda shook her head and sighed, as if she was making up her mind. Her eyes were dead serious,
“I'm asking such a favor as Quentin’s wife, not the administration manager.”
She decided that she should be completely honest with Joey since Joey was willing to help her in no
time.
“Oh my, Amanda, you’re married to Mr. Quentin?”
Joey was shocked. She had worked in the company for more than a month, but she had never
suspected anything.
Amanda nodded and continued, “Quentin and I got married three years ago. We decided to keep our
marriage as a secret for work. So no one else knew about it in the company. Since I’ve told you about it
today, I’ll appreciate it if you would keep it a secret for me, would you?”
“Sure, Amanda.”
Joey agreed again without any hesitation. As a woman whose boyfriend had been cheating with
another woman before, Joey hated shameless home wreckers. She asked, “Amanda, are you
suspecting anyone?”
Amanda knew that Quentin was seeing someone in the company, which indicated that she probably
had a suspect.
Amanda narrowed her eyes and ground her teeth, “Vivian! She’s the primary suspect!”
